Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa Teases Upcoming Episodes of "Riverdale"

If you’re anything like us, you were left shook by the mid-season finale of Riverdale. And although we have to wait another month until the series picks back up again, showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa has been spilling all the tea on what we can expect next. Not only did he address those Chilling Adventures of Sabrina crossover rumors, but he also explained some upcoming episode themes that will leave stans mesmerized.

In an interview with The Wrap, Aguirre-Sacasa explained an upcoming episode that will take place in an alternate universe where absolutely everything we know is completely altered and changed. The episode is fittingly titled “Bizarrodale.”

“One episode we’re doing is an episode called ‘Bizarrodale,’ which, instead of Archie, Betty, Veronica and Jughead being the Core Four, it treats Kevin, Cheryl, Reggie and Josie as the Core Four,” he told The Wrap. “And it’s a really fun episode…I’m really excited about that one.”

NGL, we’re 100% here to see Cheryl and Kevin as the leaders of Riverdale High and focus of the episode. In the wise words of Kim Kardashian, “it’s what she deserves.” But that’s not all: Aguirre-Sacasa also explained another themed episode coming our way in the new year.

“And then we have an episode — the show has always been noir and always trending noir. But we’ve got an episode coming up that is completely noir: how it’s written, how it’s shot, the plot of it. And it’s really fun.”

“There’s one thing I’m trying to figure out that’s a nice Easter egg that I’m trying to get permission to do — but it’s too soon to talk about yet,” Aguirre-Sacasa said. “We’re still in production on the second part of ‘Sabrina,’ we haven’t wrapped yet. I think right now our focus is all on wrapping up and getting that landed in a great way. I think once that’s behind us, I think we’ll be able to really investigate and have the conversations about this. That’s my hope at least.”

So while that crossover might not be happening in the second half of this season, we definitely know to keep our eyes out now. Riverdale picks back up new episodes on January 16 on The CW...so set your DVR accordingly.
